Key words: Assessment, Teaching Reading, Double Entry Journal, and Critical
Thinking
Assessment is one of important thing that has important role in education. By
assessment process, teacher can find out how far students understand the material

which has been taught by the teacher. Teacher also can use the result of assessment to
analyze which material that should be explained again and which instruments that
should be repaired. Critical thinking is one of important item to be assessed. Critical
thinking is how to students’ think about certain issue. Double Entry Journal is one of
technique assessment to assess students’ critical thinking which is different with
other. Because the student divided their pages into two with a vertical line down the
center. On the left side, they will read the question which is made by the teacher. In
the right coloumn, they will write their personal responses or answer the question in
the left.
This research is aimed to know how Double Entry Journal assesses learners’
critical thiking of second grade of MA Mu’allimat NU Kudus and students respond to
Double Entry Journal in assessing their critical thinking.
This research is Qualitative research. The data were collected are the students’
result in answering the question in Double Entry Journal, students’ answer in filling
the questionnaire, and the result of observation sheet. The instruments which were
used are classroom observation, Double Entry Journal sheet, questionnaire, and
documentation. The object of this research was students of XI IPS 1 of MA
Mu’allimat NU Kudus.
The result of this research can be seen from result of observation, how students’
fill double entry journal and questionnaire. The students of XI IPS 1 of MA

Mu’allimat NU Kudus were rare to give their opinion; they just used one side of view
to give their opinion. Many of them are also difficult to understand the question
which must be filled by them. They cannot connect their answer with other context
yet, and they just never give the other people’s opinion in their own opinion. From
the questionnaire result, we can see that they were interested in using double entry
journal. For them, double entry journal was easy to use. The result can be concluded
that the students’ critical thinking of XI IPS 1 of MA Mu’allimat NU Kudus was low,
but they were interested in using Double Entry Journal.
In this research, the researcher suggests the English teachers use Double Entry
Journal as an assessment technique to assess students’ critical thinking and a media
improve their writing.

ABSTRAK
Firdausiyah, Amanatul. 2016. Double Entry Journal Untuk Menilai Berpikir Kritis
Peserta didik Kelas Sebelas MA Mu'allimat NU Kudus Tahun Akademik
2015/2016. Skripsi. Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris Departemen, Fakultas

Kata kunci: Penilaian, Double Entry Journal, dan Berpikir Kritis
Penilaian adalah salah satu hal penting yang memiliki peran penting dalam
pendidikan. Dengan proses penilaian, guru dapat mengetahui sejauh mana siswa
memahami materi yang telah diajarkan oleh guru. Guru juga dapat menggunakan
hasil penilaian untuk menganalisis bahan yang yang harus dijelaskan lagi dan
instrumen mana yang harus diperbaiki. Berfikir kritis merupakan salah satu item yang
harus di nila oleh guru. Berfikir kritis adalah cara siswa menanggapi sebuah topic
tertentu. Double Entry Journal adalah salah satu penilaian teknik untuk menilai
pemikiran kritis siswa yang berbeda dengan lainnya. Siswa membagi halaman mereka
menjadi dua dengan garis vertikal di tengahnya. Di sisi kiri, mereka akan membaca
pertanyaan yang dibuat oleh guru. Dalam sisi kanan, mereka akan menulis tanggapan
pribadi mereka atau menjawab pertanyaan di sebelah kiri.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana Double Entry Journal
menilai berpikir kritis peserta didik kelas sebelas MA Mu'allimat NU Kudus dan
tanggapan siswa mengenai Double Entry Journal untuk menilai berpikir kritis
mereka.
Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif. Data dikumpulkan adalah hasil
menjawab pertanyaan di Double Entry Journal, jawaban siswa dalam mengisi
kuesioner, dan hasil lembar observasi. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah observasi
kelas, Double Entry Journal, kuesioner, dan dokumentasi. Objek penelitian ini adalah

siswa XI IPS 1 dari MA Mu'allimat NU Kudus.
Hasil penelitian ini dapat dilihat dari hasil observasi, jawaban murid di
Double Entry Journal dan kuesioner. Siswa XI IPS 1 MA Mu'allimat NU Kudus yang
jarang memberikan pendapat mereka; mereka hanya digunakan satu sisi pandang
untuk memberikan pendapat mereka. Banyak dari mereka juga sulit untuk memahami
pertanyaan yang harus diisi oleh mereka. Mereka belum dapat menghubungkan
jawaban mereka dengan konteks lain, dan mereka tidak pernah memberikan pendapat
orang lain dalam pendapat mereka sendiri. Dari hasil kuesioner, kita dapat melihat
bahwa mereka tertarik menggunakan Double Entry Journal. Bagi mereka, Double
Entry Journal mudah digunakan. Hasilnya dapat disimpulkan bahwa berpikir kritis
siswa XI IPS 1 dari MA Mu'allimat NU Kudus rendah, tapi mereka tertarik
menggunakan Double Entry Journal.
Dalam penelitian ini, peneliti menyarankan para guru bahasa Inggris
menggunakan Double Entry Journal sebagai teknik penilaian untuk menilai
pemikiran kritis siswa dan meningkatkan kemampuan menulis mereka.
